This week I'm feeling very accomplished, obviously since it's Spring Break and I'm not working. Also, Dan has had a few days off and it's been amazing! I'm being productive during nap time and getting out more. I was able to spend some one on one time with each baby too which rarely happens!
Sunday I took Will to Target and we got a wedding shower gift for our friends. I also managed to get groceries and some projects done around the house. We started rice cereal that night, they both did pretty well.
Monday we met the cousins at the park and used the jogging strollers for the first time! I also made a Pinterest recipe for dinner and Dan's sister and husband came by to say hi.
Tuesday morning, Will's cough was getting worse so I made him a doctor's appointment. While the babies napped, I showered AND baked a Peanut Butter Cup Chocolate Chip Pie. I was a little overzealous trying to get both of the chores accomplished during one nap time, especially while Dan was out running errands and the babies quickly put me in my place! Ben and I went to a playdate at our friend/neighbor Nikki's house. Will got some one on one time with Dan and then I took him to the doc later that afternoon. He's back on Albuterol breathing treatments and now we have our very own breathing machine, wah, wah, wah. At least I can use it for both of them and don't have to run off to the Ped and pay a copay every time we need to borrow one. Night 3 of rice cereal and going strong! Sheila stopped by and fed Ben, assuring me that the babies did, in fact have the hang of it :) Dan's cousin and his girlfriend brought Pei Wei over for dinner and visited with the babies. We also ate aforementioned cookie pie :)
Wednesday is "Baby Time" at the library down the street. I really wanted to take the boys, it is geared toward birth-20 months with songs, stories, puppets etc. I didn't know if I could handle them both without Dan but with Will being sick, I didn't want to bring him. Well Dan was supposed to leave at 10:30 to commute back to Philly to be on call tomorrow. He wound up calling to see if they had assigned him a trip and they did so he doesn't need to leave until tomorrow!! So again, it was Daddy and Will time while Mommy and Ben went to Baby Time. It was super cute and more crowded than I expected. I was hoping to meet some other mommies but it was pretty obvious that these ladies attend regularly and have already made friends with each other. This working mama won't be back until summer so no such luck for me. At least I know what to expect and once they're both sitting up I feel like I could manage with the two of them and make some friends ;) I made fresh salsa while we watched the Pope coverage and now I'm trying to post this quick blog before the babies wake up. Maybe we'll go sit in the backyard and enjoy the Arizona sun...or watch the Jodi Arias trial...and eat salsa.
Tonight we are going to a wedding shower for our friends Emily and Stephen, Dan is going to get to come thank goodness! I'm hoping Will is feeling better but I'm not too worried since its mostly adults and he's been getting in some good naps today. My mom is coming to visit since it's Spring Break so I'm sure we'll work on some projects and celebrate her birthday this weekend. Maybe we'll bring the babies with us to a restaurant...who knows!
I'm so happy to have this week to feel like a happy and fun mommy. I wish I had the opportunity to enjoy life like this all the time and I'm really dreading the next 9 weeks. But I just have to remind myself that in 9 weeks I will be that lucky. Then we'll just need to figure out our move and we can be together again!
